兴趣是学习的最大动力，只有培养大学生学习英语的兴趣，才能真正提升学习效率，实现学习的事半功倍。
文字的书尤其是外语书，往往让大学生觉得枯燥无味，然而如果引入多媒体的形式，则会显得更加有趣。
电影能够集光、影、声三种媒介于一体，具备较好的现场感，内容更加逼真，特别容易激发人内心的感情，把握好收看这关注的点，帮助大学生融入到电影带给我们不一样的语境氛围。
从原版英文电影的表现手法来看，会呈现出不一样的故事情节，在高潮迭起的过程中可以为大学生学习英语提供更加轻松的语言环境，大学生把英语与故事进行紧密结合，就能够让大学生感受到英语的轻松之处，从而学习英语的兴趣被有效的激发。
在学习过程中，电影充满动感的图像和声音，电影较之磁带、光盘等听力材料，更加具备多媒体的特点，能够快速赋予大学生以更加真实的感觉，使其能够真正获得身临其境的学习体验。
毕竟英语学习是一个跨文化的学习过程，在学习的过程中不同的文化差异会对学习的效果产生最直接的影响，如果大学生不了解其中的文化差异会陷入学习的误区，对英语学习产生不利影响。
英语原声电影恰恰能够打破这种瓶颈，通过声行并茂的方式让英语学习的过程更为轻松，带给大学生不一样的学习感受。
英语原声电影本身就是一种语言文化的传递过程，对于各种层次的大学生来说都具有一定的帮助。

英语教学中英文电影欣赏的作用（3篇）第一篇：初中英语教学中英文电影欣赏浅析英文电影是将人们的实际生活状况搬入荧幕，将人类的情感变化与思想传递真实展现在观众眼前，给予人们强烈的精神共鸣。
在初中英语教学过程尝试英文电影欣赏教学实践，不仅能够把教材中的英语语言知识内容活化，还能够让学生们在动态英语环境中体验语言交流技巧，集中学生在英语课堂上的学习注意力，促进英语教学。
一、英文电影欣赏的教学实践作用与优势（一）强化听力、口语训练英语学科究其本质而言是一门语言学科，教师要想让初中生获得较好的英语语言使用技能，则需要在日常教学过程中对其进行反复训练，增强语言灵活性与敏感性。
初中生的学习思维比较灵活，语言学习塑造性较强，在语言模仿与学习等方面具有极强的潜力与欲望。
因此，利用英文电影欣赏环节可以锻炼他们的英语语言模仿运用能力。
英文电影往往具有线索性较强的音乐剧情、优美的视频画面、较广的声频环绕度与视听结合场景，初中生在英文电影欣赏环节中不仅对西方文化有了进一步的认识，电影知识面也得到极大拓宽，学生仿佛置身于真实的英语生活中，对英语使用的欲望不断增强。
（二）提高词汇量英语词汇量是影响初中生能否熟练掌握英语技巧，灵活运用英语进行交流的关键因素。
由于初中生接触英语的实践并不长，部分学生在小学阶段尚未接触英语课程，从而在英语单词的音标识记、单词记忆等方面具有较多的学习困难。
同时，单词教学是初中英语教学的重点内容，新课程教学标准对初中生英语词汇量又提出了更高的要求，因此教师利用英文电影欣赏教学环节，能够给学生们提供相应的单词使用语境，让学生们正确掌握每一个英语单词的使用背景与记忆策略环境。
学生们在欣赏英文电影的过程中便掌握了英文单词的正确读音、意思与内涵以及语言使用环境，不仅对单词产生单向深度记忆效果，对单词文化更有着纵向的体验与渗透。
初中英语教材中部分单词是西方习语，在传统单一教材式教学过程中，学生由于缺乏语境，对这些习语单词的记忆效果较差，而在英文电影欣赏环节中，学生对其的记忆深度得到了提高。
初中英语从电影中学英语初中英语：从电影中学英语在初中英语学习的道路上，我们总是在寻找各种有趣又有效的方法来提升自己的英语能力。
而观看英语电影，无疑是一个绝佳的选择。
它不仅能让我们在轻松愉悦的氛围中学习英语，还能让我们更深入地了解英语国家的文化和风俗习惯。
电影是一种强大的语言学习工具。
首先，它为我们提供了真实的语言环境。
在电影中，演员们使用的是自然、流畅的日常英语，而非经过简化和编排的课本英语。
这让我们能够接触到各种各样的语音、语调、语速和用词习惯，有助于我们培养良好的听力和语感。
想想看，当我们听到演员们生动地表达情感、讲述故事时，那种真实的语言交流场景会深深地印在我们的脑海中。
比如，在一部爱情电影里，主人公表白时的深情话语；在一部冒险电影中，角色们面对危险时的紧张呼喊。
这些都是在课本中难以体会到的真实语言运用。
其次，电影能够帮助我们扩大词汇量。
电影中的场景丰富多样，涉及到生活的方方面面，从家庭、学校到职场、社交活动等等。
这意味着我们会遇到大量不同主题的词汇，如美食、时尚、科技、运动等等。
而且，通过电影中的情节和画面，我们能够更轻松地理解和记忆这些新单词。
比如说，在一部关于烹饪的电影中，我们看到各种食材和烹饪步骤的同时，也能学到相关的英语词汇，如“chopping board”（案板）、“stirfry”（爆炒）等。
这种结合视觉和听觉的学习方式，比单纯地背诵单词表要有趣和高效得多。
再者，从电影中学习英语还能让我们更好地理解语法的实际运用。
在课本中，语法规则往往是抽象和枯燥的，但在电影中，我们可以看到语法是如何在真实的语境中发挥作用的。
例如，通过观察角色之间的对话，我们能更清楚地理解时态的变化、从句的使用以及各种短语和句型的结构。
当我们看到一个角色回忆过去的事情时，自然而然就明白了过去时态的用法；当另一个角色在描述未来的计划时，我们也能直观地感受到将来时态的表达。
同时，电影中的语言往往更贴近口语表达，这有助于我们纠正一些常见的中式英语错误，让我们的英语更加地道。
适合英语学习的电影适合英语学习的电影英语学习是一个长期而艰巨的过程，而电影是学习英语的有趣且有效的工具之一。
通过欣赏电影，可以提高听力理解能力、学习地道的口语表达，并对丰富的英语文化有更深入的了解。

OnePart I A Brief Introduction of Movie HistoryThe history of film began in the late 1880s with the invention of the first movie cinema. Motion pictures were initially exhibited as a carnival novelty and developed to one of the most important tools of communication and entertainment, and mass media in the 20th century and into the 21st century. Most films before 1930 were silent. Motion picture films have substantially affected the art, technology, and politics.The movie theatre was considered a cheaper, simpler way to provide entertainment to the masses. Movies became the most popular visual art form of the late Victorian age. It was simpler because of the fact that before the cinema people would have to travel long distances to see major dioramas or amusement parks. With the advent of the cinema this changed. During the first decadeof the cinema's existence, inventors worked to improve the machines for making and showing films.1895 to 1906: The first eleven years of motion pictures show the cinema moving from a novelty to an established large-scale entertainment industry. The films represent a movement fromfilms consisting of one shot, completely made by one person with a few assistants, towards films several minutes long consisting of several shots, which were made by largecompanies in something like industrial conditions.The 1940s: the war and post-war yearsThe 1960s: During the 1960s, the studio system in Hollywood declined, because many films were now being made on location in other countries, or using studio facilities abroad, such asPinewood in the UK and Cinecitta in Rome. "Hollywood" films were still largely aimed at family audiences, and it was often the more old-fashioned films that produced the studios'biggest successes. Productions like Mary Poppins (1964), My Fair Lady (1964) and TheSound of Music (1965) were among the biggest money-makers of the decade. The growth in independent producers and production companies, and the increase in the power ofindividual actors also contributed to the decline of traditional Hollywood studio productionThe 1990s: New special effects, independent films, and DVDsThe early 1990s saw the development of a commercially successful independent cinema in the United States. Although cinema was increasingly dominated by special-effects films such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Jurassic Park (1993) and Titanic (1997), the latter of which became the highest-grossing film of all time at the time, independent films like Steven Soderbergh’s Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989) and Quentin Tarantine 's Reservoir Dogs (1992) had significant commercial success both at the cinema and on home video. Filmmakers associated with the Danish film movement Dogme 95 introduced a manifesto aimed to purify filmmaking. Its first few films gained worldwide critical acclaim, after which the movement slowly faded out. 2010s: After James Cameron's 3D film Avatar became the highest-grossing film of all time, 3D films have gained increasing popularity with many other films being released in 3D, withthe best critical and financial successes being in the field of feature film animation such asDreamWorks 's H ow T o T rain Y our D ragon a nd W alt D isney P ictures/Pixar’s T oyStory 3. Avatar is also note-worthy for pioneering highly sophisticated use of motioncapture technology and influencing several other films such as Rise of the Planet of theApes.As of 2010, the largest film industries by number of feature films produced are those of India, the United States and China.The Long Tail: One major new development in the early 21st century is the development of systems that make it much easier for regular people to write, shoot, edit and distribute their own films without the large apparatus of the film industry. This phenomenon and its repercussions are outlined in Chris Anderson’s theory, The Long Tail.The film of an era can well reflect the culture and customs of this era. In the very same way the movie of a country serves as the best mirror of the country’s culture and customs.Part II A List of Film Festivals in the World1.Festival de Cannes (Cannes, France)戛纳电影节2.Sundance Film Festival (Park City, U.S.)圣丹斯电影节3.Toronto International Film Festival (Toronto, Canada)多伦多国际电影节4.South by Southwest (Austin, TX, U.S.)西南偏南5.International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (The Netherlands)阿姆斯特丹国际纪录片电影节6.Venice Film Festival (Italy)威尼斯电影节7.Berlin International Film Festival (Germany)柏林国际电影节8.International Film Festival Rotterdam (The Netherlands)鹿特丹国际电影节9.New York Film Festival纽约电影节10.Telluride Film Festival (Colorado, U.S.A.)特柳赖德电影节Part III American Academy Award Best Film WinnersLost and Found远在天边Part I Information on the Background and Culture Studio aka has completed a 25-minute film adaptation of the children’s book Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers .

Elsewhere on this particular morning a small boy was getting up much in the same way that he always did, lookingforward to his normal routine, in his usual way! But today was going to be anything but ordinary!First impressions are a funny thing, and it’s always wise to take a moment to consider this when something new turns up on your step! To the boy this all seemed a bit worrisome! And yet he was not the person to ignore someone who might need his help and in any case his curiosity tended to get the better of it and this was so very curious! And even so, an uninvited guest could be a difficult situation at the best of times especially when some visitors just don’t know that they’ve already outstayed their welcome!! And so in a tricky situation it’s best to follow all the correct procedures. But in this case there was a problem that would not be solved easily!Episode 2Now, anyone could be forgiven when faced with such an uninvited visitor for choosing the easy way out. Then again some people just don’t have it in them to do anything other than the right thing. As the day unfolded, the small boy began to realize that helping this stranger find the way home was a bigger problem than he had first thought! And all this distraction was getting them nowhere, so the boy decided that some proper thinking was called for.So much for the best-laid plans, as too often a small voice is not heard in a wider world! Yet when things aren’t going quite the way they should, it occurs to some that if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing yourself. A boat is a wondrous thing. It carries with it all the possibilities you can think of in this world and with a little planning and a little daring, you can imagine all kinds of grand adventures! And so the boy worked out an ambitious plan to get his visitor back where he belonged; but he never stopped to consider for a moment just what his visitor was doing there in the first place! Late into the night the small boy slept fitfully for tomorrow he was going to try to cross the ocean to the other side of the world.Episode 3Another beautiful morning and all the preparations were in place. And for those who cared to look, the little boat could be seen setting out on a tremendous and uncertain journey...The day gave way to the night just as things seemed to be working out well, they began to take turns for the worse! The very long way from shore, the small boat and both on board were about to find out just what the sea could do.Episode 4And there it flickered: The South Pole! Finally the boy’s work was done! His task wascomplete! It’s harder than you think to say goodbye to someone who’s become part of your life... especially when you haven’t noticed it happening... And so this particular farewell is much harder than the boy imagined it would be; for although a parting is always sad an awkward one is even more so. But you do what you have to do and just get on with things. Suddenly the boy understood that perhaps someone wasn’t lost but really is lonely and maybe they weren’t the only one.It all began with someone lost and someone found; who is to say which was which? There was a boy and there was a penguin, strangers from opposite sides of the ocean. And like the beginning of any friendship, there’s this remarkable story indeed!!Exercise 3: Writing a ReviewDirections: Write a review of the given movie, sharing your feelings and thoughts on the story.Unit ThreeBeauty and the Beast美女与野兽Part I Information on the Background and CultureBeauty and the Beast is a 1991 American animated musical romantic fantasy film producedby Walt Disney Feature Animation and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.
